Itinerary
Discover the elegance of Place Vendôme, one of Paris’s most iconic squares. Framed by grand 18th-century architecture, it’s home to luxury boutiques and the famous Ritz Hotel. Marvel at the towering Vendôme Column, inspired by Trajan’s Column in Rome, and learn about its Napoleonic history while soaking in the square’s timeless charm.
Visit the largest square in Paris, where history and grandeur collide. Admire the Luxor Obelisk, a 3,000-year-old Egyptian monument, and take in views of the Champs-Élysées and Tuileries Garden. This square witnessed key moments of the French Revolution and now stands as a symbol of Parisian elegance.
As we ride along the lower section of the Champs-Élysées, between Place de la Concorde and Pont Alexandre III, enjoy views of the tree-lined avenue and its classic Parisian charm. This quieter stretch leads into the grandeur of the city's most famous boulevard—just a taste of the iconic Champs-Élysées.
Spot the elegant Petit Palais, built for the 1900 World’s Fair. With its golden gate and Beaux-Arts design, it now houses the City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts.
Facing the Petit Palais, the Grand Palais impresses with its massive glass dome. This monumental building hosts major exhibitions and fashion shows, and it’s an architectural blend of steel, stone, and innovation.
Cross one of Paris’s most beautiful bridges, a masterpiece of Beaux-Arts architecture. With its gilded statues, ornate lampposts, and panoramic river views, Pont Alexandre III connects the Champs-Élysées to the Invalides. We stop here to learn about the Petit Palais, Grand Palais and the Invalides Dome. Plus... It’s a perfect photo spot!
Catch a view of the golden dome of Les Invalides, a former military hospital and now Napoleon’s final resting place.
Get up close with the Iron Lady herself. From this viewpoint, take in the sheer scale of the Eiffel Tower and learn about its bold debut at the 1889 World’s Fair. It’s the ultimate Paris icon—perfect for photos and a quick history bite before continuing your ride.
We take a little break on the lower Quai of the Seine.
As we ride along the Seine, look across to the Musée d’Orsay. This former train station is now home to world-class Impressionist art—think Monet, Van Gogh, and Degas—all housed in a striking Beaux-Arts building.
The world’s most visited museum. Take in the striking contrast between the classical palace and the modern glass pyramid. Though we won’t go inside, you’ll get the highlights—from royal palace to art treasure trove—right in the historic heart of Paris.
Admire the grand Hôtel de Ville, Paris’s city hall since the 14th century.
Pause in front of the majestic Notre-Dame, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Hear tales of medieval Paris, and it's fascinating stories as you enjoy this iconic riverside view.
Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris! Completed in 1607, it was the first to be built without houses and offers classic views of the Seine and Île de la Cité.
